Sinossi

When four fun-loving Southern ladies hit the road to attend a teaching conference in Savannah, Georgia, they hope that the week will be one to remember. It turns out they're right-but not for the reasons they all imagine. In their lives, most things they face are mundane-what to make for lunch, how to make the kids pay attention in class, and how to work with the school's budget committee. They all jumped at the chance to get away. For Debra, Ashley, Brianna, and Mary Sue, this is a working vacation, one where they'll all learn a little and laugh a lot. It's a chance to live the good life for a few days. They all love the luxury of their conference hotel-especially the view. So when one of them suggests an evening drive across that spectacular bridge they admire from their rooms, they hit the road again. But these teachers have missed the lesson about being prepared: they soon find themselves stranded on a dark country road. Debra offers to save the day, so she grabs a gas can and heads boldly into the darkness. But when Debra doesn't come back, the threesome must now work together to solve the mystery. Rich with local color, laughter, drama, and more, this thrilling adventure of everyday people trapped in an extraordinary experience is a little slice of lives lived loud and proud.

New Adventures of Sherlock...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Nora Godwin

The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 2:
Throughout many years, Dr. John H. Watson accompanied his friend and companion Sherlock Holmes in solving countless mysteries and crimes. Beginning in the 1880s and into the 20th century, Holmes consistently held his status as the world’s most brilliant and successful detective. His accomplishments were painstakingly chronicled by Watson in notes that relate the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Many of his accounts have been published and are well-known to a broad readership.
There were times, however, when Watson would refrain from publishing his writings during his lifetime. He would do so for various reasons: At times, he would find himself forced to keep actual events and background information secret for moral, criminal, or financial reasons. Other times, he would want to either avoid potential political, legal, or social scandals or even damage to his own—or Holmes’s—reputation. Some of Watson’s accounts, however, were simply not published at the time because he was occupied with more important or urgent matters.
The New Adventures brings to the public for the very first time some of Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes cases previously kept under lock and key.

Around The World For My Son - A...

Guillaume Garreau

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Alexandre Varenne has spent twelve years building something the world has never seen. Lumière is a quantum-entangled data network that moves information invisibly, leaving no trace, no metadata, no record. A ghost in the machine. The moment it activates, everything changes. 
 
By morning, his son Max is gone. 
 
His ex-partner took the boy without warning, without permission, and vanished onto an outbound flight before Alexandre could even process what was happening. The police can't help. The courts move too slowly. And someone out there already knows what Lumière can do. 
 
Now Alexandre is the only one who can find his son. And to do it, he may have to use the very technology he swore would never fall into the wrong hands. 
 
Part techno-thriller, part father's desperate race against time, this novel moves fast and hits hard. It asks a question that doesn't have a clean answer: when the most powerful tool in the world belongs to you, what are you willing to do with it to protect the one person who matters most?
